Treating Restless Leg Syndrome with Cannabis with Debra Kimless, MD

Dr. Deb Kimless has been in the medical cannabis field since 2013 where her diverse involvement spans many areas including cannabis cultivation, processing, formulation, testing, patient care, and conducting research. She consults within the industry as an advisor for companies who are interested in novel formulations specific to medical conditions, develops protocols, obtains IRB approval, conducts clinical trials, and helps to publish the results.







At CannMed 24, Deb presented a poster that shared data from an open-label clinical trial investigating using a cannabinoid-enhanced topical cream for alleviating Restless Leg Syndrome. RLS is condition that affects up to 10% of the US population, including Deb. She found relief using a CBDA-based topical cream and is working with the product manufacturer to conduct clinical trials that demonstrate its effectiveness. 







During our conversation, we discuss: 









The symptoms of RLS and possible causes 







Deb’s own struggles with RLS 







Why many conventional and pharmaceutical treatments of RLS fall short 







Why CBDA appears to be effective at alleviating RLS symptoms 







Why a transdermal approach is better than ingesting or inhaling cannabinoids 







Results from the open label clinical trial including some remarkable success stories
